Newly painted!!!







Afters!!!!.........








Before shots....





We have just finished painting our living room, what a job!! we had horrible wood panelling on one wall and in the hallway. So we decided to paint over it, so we had to fill the grooves and sand it and fill it and sand it! Then we were able to put the base coat "Chocolate Froth" on, boy did it ever lighten that room up, we had a texture paint to put on top of that, "Bellagio Faux" depending on what colour base coat you pick you then get the texture paint to put on top of it. It has small balls of paint in it that you "splat" with a trowel looking thing, we picked the one that had a greyish tint due to the silver metallic paint thats in there....its so pretty it looks like wallpaper. We chose to go with Louvre blinds and get rid of the venetian ones, i hated them anyway!!All in all we are very VERy happy with it, it looks so brigth in there now, all we have to do now is get the carpet!!! Watch this space as they say!!!

My son

My son flew back to Britain on Friday, i am so sad, i howled in the airport, howled going back to the car and howled all the way home ( and hour and 20 mins). Then when i got home i went into his room and sat and on the bed and howled some more. i think my poor hubby thought i was having a breakdown of some sort!! No i was just very very sad. i know he will come back but it was just nice having him here, hearing him whistle around the house, telling him to turn his music down, you know all the stuff that 20 year olds drive you to distraction doing. But i enjyoyed telling him, he made me laff he made me cry and it was so wonderful. i miss you son, come back soon.
